The magic symbol of the Pentagram

Be careful with the staves, they can have one inverted

Be careful with the staves, they can be or have an inverted one 

The other day in the program "Nightmares in his ink" a girl wanted to cover up with a cover up a pentagram that was tattooed in an act of adolescent rebellion believing that it was a David's star; What amazed me the most was that everyone thought it was a satanic symbol, including the principal of the Catholic school I attended.

I do not know if a Star of David symbol of Judaism would have made him more amusing, but what everyone should have known is that the pentagram is not satanic: in fact it represents, among other things, Christ as the Alpha and Omega, beginning and end.

Five results from the sum of two unequal numbers, one even or feminine and one odd or masculine, heaven and earth; is, therefore, a union symbol. The inverted pentagram with which they confused him is, however, a symbol of disunity and represents the devil (as I will tell you another day)

Five is the fifth element or quintessence that the alchemists were looking for to make the Philosopher's Stone; they are the five elements concentrated in a single one: the ether that is its substrate; hence the Wiccan pentagram represents the human being and its five elements.

The Gnostics call it Flaming Star and they consider it a sign of magical omnipotence, for that reason they use it in their rituals since it dominates the elements of Nature and drives away evil spirits.

It is a protective amulet, so it is a good protection tattoo be it a simple pentagram, be it the wiccan one that includes all the magical elements.

Another interesting tattoo would be a pentagram within a square, this one within an equilateral triangle finally enclosed by a circle. It is considered the perfect symbol: the pentagram is the man; the square, the elements; the triangle, the Trinity and the circle the universal spirit.
